Around since Mayan times, the Mexican Husk Tomato or Tomatillo `Purple’ bears sweet, little fruits which is a staple of many Mexican dishes, particularly salads and Salsa Verde. A voracious cropper with a tomato- like flavour – plant a few to ensure good pollination for a great harvest. Pretty 1.2m bushes with yellow flowers, a decorative husk surrounds the fruit as it grows and it’s ready to eat when the husk is dry.
